The manual begins with several short sections explaining integrated pest management (IPM), monitoring, use of pheromone traps, insect classification and life cycles, and identification of moth larvae (caterpillars). Following these introductory explanations are two sections describing key insect pests. The first section presents pests found during the dormant to pre-bloom stages of cranberry vines in early spring. Pests found during the summer stages of bloom and fruit sizing are described in the second section. In each section, the most common pests are presented by usual order of prevalence in cranberry beds. Less common pests are also described, because you may see them when monitoring fields. For all pests, a description of the life cycle and feeding habits is provided so that you may better understand pest biology. Details on methods and timing of monitoring for major pests will help you detect these pests in cranberry beds. Not all insects and animals in cranberry beds are pests. Sections on pollinators and on natural enemies of insects and weeds will help you identify, encourage and protect the “good guys”. Symptoms of the most common fungal diseases seen in this region, along with the causal organisms, are presented in the section on diseases. A table demonstrating the infection periods and the timing of disease in the beds will help growers detect and manage blights, diebacks and rots. Because the concepts of integrated pest management are based on economical and environmental aspects, special emphasis has been placed on presenting biological, behavioural, physical and cultural practices for controlling pests and protecting against diseases. General recommendations for chemical control of insects are suggested. The 2000 Canada Cranberry Pesticide Chart and a table of products registered by the Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) are included to help growers choose appropriate insecticides. We emphasize that insecticide, fungicide and herbicide registrations change from year to year. Always read the label carefully to ensure that the chemicals you choose are registered on cranberry for the target pest, be it an insect, a disease or a weed. The information contained in this manual was compiled from many sources, including research reports, field observations, scientific articles, books, and extension guides and manuals. A list of references, good websites and IPM resources is provided if you desire more information. We hope that this manual will assist all concerned users and will facilitate your pest management techniques and practices. 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors of this manual wish to thank the following people for photos, advice, information, review, comments, insect identification, and for sharing their knowledge.

IPM decision-making requires understanding the pest problem, applying the economic or action thresholds for triggering pest management, knowing the risks and benefits of the various management options, and choosing the lowest risk, most efficient pest management strategy available. Inherent to the IPM Stratedy are: 1. The concept of monitoring the pest population and/or factors influencing the pest population so that control is used only if the pest is present at numbers to be concerned about and/or if conditions are conducive to pest reproduction and growth. 2. All appropriate methods should be used. A combination of approaches is desirable, rather than reliance on a single technique. Combinations must be economical. 3. Broad-spectrum pesticides should be avoided, with the use of selective chemicals desired. 4. The least disruptive approach is to be used. Thus, adequate controls that do not upset desirable aspects of the system will be adopted. Recognizing these principles and concepts, this IPM manual promotes the use of sound IPM strategies and techniques by cranberry growers to ensure the development of sustained cranberry production in Canada. (Exerpted from text by Jere Downing, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Cranberry Institute) 7 MONITORING Monitoring for insects is like doing detective work. “Monitoring” simply means sampling on a regular basis, usually weekly. Monitoring is recommended to find pests on cranberry and to be aware of the damage they may cause. Monitoring may be done by a paid cranberry pest management consultant, or by a farm employee trained in monitoring techniques and record-keeping. Several monitoring methods are used to find different species of pests and to gather information that will help growers decide on the type and timing of treatment. Visual sweeps, sweep-netting in the daytime or at night, walking counts, pheromone traps and light traps may be used to detect the presence and the developmental stage of insect pests in cranberry fields. Monitoring for dead pests at a safe interval after a pesticide application is recommended to check that the treatment was effective and to see if newly hatched larvae are present. In British Columbia, monitoring begins early in the spring by looking for larvae of the blackheaded fireworm.

The survey came about following a request from Tai Po Environmental Association. Recording, using ultraviolet light sources and live traps in four sub-sites, took place on the evenings of 24 April and 16 October 2009. In total, 825 moths representing 352 species were recorded. Of the species recorded, 3 meet IUCN Red List criteria for threatened species in one of the three main categories “Critically Endangered” (one species), “Endangered” (one species) and “Vulnerable” (one species” and a further 13 species meet “Near Threatened” criteria. Twelve of the species recorded are currently only known from Hong Kong, all are within one of the four IUCN threatened or near threatened categories listed. Seven species are recorded from Hong Kong for the first time. The moth assemblages recorded are typical of human disturbed forest, feng shui woods and orchards, with a relatively low Geometridae component, and includes a small number of species normally associated with agriculture and open habitats that were found in the SSSI site. Comparisons showed that each sub-site had a substantially different assemblage of species, thus the site as a whole should retain the mosaic of micro-habitats in order to maintain the high moth species richness observed.

  • Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Rabies Virus Variants in Big Brown Bat Populations Across Canada: Footprints of an Emerging Zoonosis
    Molecular Ecology (2010) 19, 2120–2136 doi: 10.1111/j.1365-294X.2010.04630.x Spatial and temporal dynamics of rabies virus variants in big brown bat populations across Canada: footprints of an emerging zoonosis SUSAN A. NADIN-DAVIS,* YUQIN FENG,* DELPHINE MOUSSE,† ALEXANDER I. WANDELER* and STE´ PHANE ARIS-BROSOU†‡ *Centre of Expertise for Rabies, Ottawa Laboratory (Fallowfield), Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, †Department of Biology, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, ‡Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Abstract Phylogenetic analysis of a collection of rabies viruses that currently circulate in Canadian big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) identified five distinct lineages which have emerged from a common ancestor that existed over 400 years ago. Four of these lineages are regionally restricted in their range while the fifth lineage, comprising two-thirds of all specimens, has emerged in recent times and exhibits a recent demographic expansion with rapid spread across the Canadian range of its host. Four of these viral lineages are shown to circulate in the US. To explore the role of the big brown bat host in dissemination of these viral variants, the population structure of this species was explored using both mitochondrial DNA and nuclear microsatellite markers. These data suggest the existence of three subpopulations distributed in British Columbia, mid- western Canada (Alberta and Saskatchewan) and eastern Canada (Quebec and Ontario), respectively. We suggest that these three bat subpopulations may differ by their level of female phylopatry, which in turn affects the spread of rabies viruses. We discuss how this bat population structure has affected the historical spread of rabies virus variants across the country and the potential impact of these events on public health concerns regarding rabies.

EENY-170 Ladybirds, Ladybird beetles, Lady Beetles, Ladybugs of Florida, Coleoptera: Coccinellidae1 J. H. Frank R. F. Mizell, III2 Introduction Ladybird is a name that has been used in England for more than 600 years for the European beetle Coccinella septempunctata. As knowledge about insects increased, the name became extended to all its relatives, members of the beetle family Coccinellidae. Of course these insects are not birds, but butterflies are not flies, nor are dragonflies, stoneflies, mayflies, and fireflies, which all are true common names in folklore, not invented names. The lady for whom they were named was "the Virgin Mary," and common names in other European languages have the same association (the German name Marienkafer translates Figure 1. Adult Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus, the to "Marybeetle" or ladybeetle). Prose and poetry sevenspotted lady beetle. Credits: James Castner, University of Florida mention ladybird, perhaps the most familiar in English being the children's rhyme: Now, the word ladybird applies to a whole Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home, family of beetles, Coccinellidae or ladybirds, not just Your house is on fire, your children all gone... Coccinella septempunctata. We can but hope that newspaper writers will desist from generalizing them In the USA, the name ladybird was popularly all as "the ladybird" and thus deluding the public into americanized to ladybug, although these insects are believing that there is only one species. There are beetles (Coleoptera), not bugs (Hemiptera). many species of ladybirds, just as there are of birds, and the word "variety" (frequently use by newspaper 1.

  • A Persistently Infecting Coronavirus in Hibernating Myotis Lucifugus, the North American Little Brown Bat
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Subudhi et al., Journal of General Virology 2017;98:2297–2309 DOI 10.1099/jgv.0.000898 A persistently infecting coronavirus in hibernating Myotis lucifugus, the North American little brown bat Sonu Subudhi,1 Noreen Rapin,1 Trent K. Bollinger,2 Janet E. Hill,1 Michael E. Donaldson,3 Christina M. Davy,3 Lisa Warnecke,4 James M. Turner,4 Christopher J. Kyle,3 Craig K. R. Willis4 and Vikram Misra1,* Abstract Bats are important reservoir hosts for emerging viruses, including coronaviruses that cause diseases in people. Although there have been several studies on the pathogenesis of coronaviruses in humans and surrogate animals, there is little information on the interactions of these viruses with their natural bat hosts. We detected a coronavirus in the intestines of 53/174 hibernating little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus), as well as in the lungs of some of these individuals. Interestingly, the presence of the virus was not accompanied by overt inflammation. Viral RNA amplified from little brown bats in this study appeared to be from two distinct clades. The sequences in clade 1 were very similar to the archived sequence derived from little brown bats and the sequences from clade 2 were more closely related to the archived sequence from big brown bats. This suggests that two closely related coronaviruses may circulate in little brown bats. Sequence variation among coronavirus detected from individual bats suggested that infection occurred prior to hibernation, and that the virus persisted for up to 4 months of hibernation in the laboratory. Based on the sequence of its genome, the coronavirus was placed in the Alphacoronavirus genus, along with some human coronaviruses, bat viruses and the porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus.

The importance of bats as natural hosts for several important viral zoonoses, including Ebola, Marburg, Nipah, Hendra, and rabies viruses and severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (SARS-CoV), has been established; however, the large viral population diversity (virome) of bats has been partially deter- mined for only a few of the ϳ1,200 bat species. To assess the virome of North American bats, we collected fecal, oral, urine, and tissue samples from individual bats captured at an abandoned railroad tunnel in Maryland that is cohabitated by 7 to 10 different bat species. Here, we present preliminary characterization of the virome of three common North American bat species, including big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus), tricolored bats (Perimyotis subflavus), and little brown myotis (Myotis lucifugus).
